Intro: Dm

  Dm
dreams stripped down beyond firelight
                            A
i would go over but my only coat's soft white
                    Dm
and seeing things unreal

god knows what that stain
         A                         A
and what comes crawling back again

tears a harbor
        A
down to the thorny altar
                      Dm
i'm afraid i might fade away

Dm

Dm
it's to the blood we sing and burn
A
thousand blackbirds on a string return
Dm
there's a solitary sun too high
A
gone without the chosen one, goodbye

A
the ashes scatter
                  A
burning jacob's ladder
                         Dm
i'm afraid i might fade away

rage untethered

the soul a stony desert
